if I had a fake portfolio why would I draw attention to it. Anyone who responds to this thread is obviously real. (problem solved).

"Accepting TF on a very limited basis. I do offer my creative services at a reasonable price though."

Who do you think you're kidding? Everyone knows that real MM photographers don't get paid ... ever.

Cam'd!

sorry to disappoint you, but some people do. I leave it on there so people dont bother me with vampire themed shoots.

Hang on a sec ... have you ever actually done a vampire themed shoot -- and posted the results in General Feedback? That's making me think you might be real.

"Cast and crew ONLY on set. No bodyguards, babysitters, or other non-contribuatory individuals."

Sorry, but I'm not fooled. Anyone who states their escort policy on their profile is definitely a real MM photographer.

bahahaha, you got me!

Shooting out of a home studio ... picture of yourself on your profile ... you seem like a real MM photographer to me.

Take that, voices in my head!  :-)

Dammit.

Brooding avatar shot ... requisite links to Facebook and Twitter pages ... describing yourself with made up words like "chameleonesque" ...

Nothing suspicious to report here.

"Although previously I have been signed both domestically and internationally, for the time being I am electing not to seek agency representation, so feel free to contact me directly with any opportunities."

"Compensation: Depends on Assignment"

WTF? Every last shot unbelievably beautiful and classy, and a list of print credits as long as my arm, yet you expect us to believe that you are NOT seeking agency representation, and are NOT demanding "Paid Assignments Only"? Do you think I joined MM yesterday?

Cam'd!

Uh oh!  You caught me.

You have a shot of KISS in your portfolio, but you are not bragging about it on your profile, or name-dropping in the forums? I think you are a figment of MY imagination.

Cam'd!

That credits section with you peeking over the top of all your tears is so cheesy it could only have been done by a real MM photographer.

Oh really? Not ever? Never ever, not even once?

Yeah right, I know something too good to be true when I see it.

Cam'd!

You're 5' 5" and your focus is fashion ... no credits but paid work takes priority ... you have a shot in your portfolio posing next to what looks like a giant plastic cow.

Yep, you're a real MM model all right.

me? 

You've only uploaded two new photos since the last time I critiqued you nearly a month ago, and neither one of them shows me anything new. That alone qualifies you as a real MM model.

Oh man, that hurt. Not the cheesy part but being called an MM photographer. Ouch. What do I need to do to get cam'd?

Oh this should be fun

The entire tone of your profile makes you sound fun, reasonable, and easy to work with. In fact, it almost sounds too reasonable ...

On the other hand, you've got one of those cheesy "edited to be used as avatar" shots to get around MM's rules, so that removes any doubt that you are in fact a real MM model.

Oh I don't know, maybe brag on your profile about how you love to pay models and do it all the time?

schweet! All my dreams have come true now! I am a REAL MODEL

Awesome thread OP

Oh geez, where do I begin?

You have a huge logo at the top of your profile that forces me to scroll down to see any real information.

When I do scroll down, the first thing I see in written in your profile is an anti-flake rant.

You then have a big photo of yourself which forces me to scroll down even further.

Below that, you have a six-paragraph biography that tells me everything but what you used to eat for breakfast as a child.

You conclude your profile with this little gem: "I don't feel a model has to take her clothes off to be sexy, nor do I wish to promote this idea."

And you have an "on the railroad tracks" shot in your portfolio.

You've hit just about every MM photographer cliche in the book. I was going to excuse you for being relatively new to MM (being that you have only 33 forum posts), but then I saw that you joined back in Jan 2010, which in itself is another cliche of sorts.

Yeah, nothing unusual to report here.

It's a reference to the Contact-A-Mod form:

Ah yes, but didn't really start posting photos until November 2011 . I guess that probably runs into another MM cliche...
